I can't find the confirmation?

I found the media saying he's been offered contract & was expected to sign. but found no confirmation of signed deal done yet?

Here

Supposed to be today - not sure what the timeframe is though.

Anyone?

FA period officially ends at 5pm today so will be shortly after that I'd think

Right, one-by-one.

Roos said he was going to try and secure our key talent ahead of them going into Free Agency. Safe to assume, Frawley was a part of that emboldened stance. So, yes to that!

You're right it doesn't make me happy to see Frawley hold off. Being a team member require you to put the team first. Geelong has proven how well this formula works. Even Collingwood. (I can't believe how little Dawes was on at Collingwood... True team player)

The indication can be put to rest by signing on. The two fluff articles seemed like overkill for someone considering their future. Makes me feel like he's overcompensated his position. Oh, and also the intention to go to Saints as previously stated.

Clarko said the same thing about Buddy. The reality is that Cloke and Dagger is needed in these situations. Nobody, likes the result, but tension leads to war. The only way to subside it, is to sign on. Otherwise, it means a season of playing with a guy that you think is leaving for most of the year. We've been through that with Scully. It sucks a massive amount of a#$e.

Over to you.

That's no proof what so ever that the MFC has put an extension in front of Chip

The fuss is about losing a key player for nothing.

If 'his heart beats true', like is suggested, sign on. If not, look after the clubs interest and get a first rounder/key midfielder in compensation now. No options next year, this year we do.

Can you confirm the MFC has put an offer in front of Frawley?

I think all we know is Chip hasn't been mentioned as signing a contract extension.

& I think it was fairly public, that Chip wanted out to the Saints earlier in the year. thats what has started all this talk.

& if we finish 9th next year, it could be around P11ish, or later?

Was it.....nothing other than an internet rumour as far as I'm concerned

What crap.

Watch how hard Spencer is running after two opponents, both far far quicker than him, and how Matt Jones chases after Hill despite it being a futile exercise at that point, while Watts stands and watches.

I saw Viney quite seriously frog jump into and over a pack to get the ball. I'm not expecting Watts to break his nose every week, but I expect basic effort, especially down the back when his laziness is directly costing us goals!

And yes, Hill is a great player and super quick. Guess what, Watts is quick too and could be a great player if it wasn't for his application and attitude.

Some of his lazy kicks yesterday screamed "I don't want to be here".

It's infurating when guys like Magner, who have 4% of his talent, work their arse off in the VFL, get 51 disposals, and don't get senior games because they don't have the potential of Watts. But realistically, rewarding Watts on potential, and his draft ranking has only hurt him and us.

He is cheating himself and his teammates. If I was Tom McDonland or Colin Garland I'd have lost my sh*t at him.

He should take note of Jordie's effort

I'm not joking. A poster over at Bomberblitz claims he is.

do you know this for sure?

Couple of players fit the bill, especially a rookie who showed some reasonable form for casey?

Its not us

Viney

When all of the players are here, team photos are done and height / weight measurements are done....the list will be updated

Hard to get Dawes' height / weight / photo when he's not even at the club....

EDIT: lucky you're not an Essendon Supporter, you'd be going insane

They don't even have Goddard listed in their team listing, and still list all the delisted players

http://www.essendonfc.com.au/team/list.asp

The MFC website has Tynan at 76kg but everybody seems to be saying that he has a phsical presence. Does the MFC regularly update the data on the player profiles? I think not! It seems that they want to have record members but are not prepared to do simple things like keep their site up-to-date!

The site has been updated with new players - just not updated pictures / height / weight

They're probably waiting for everyone to be back at training before photos / height / weight etc.

Could be worse, Essendon don't even have their star recruit - Goddard - on the playing list

This one is my favourite:

That was the one I was actually looking for

Caro must be shaking in her boots at the prospect.

Don't think I've ever seen a useful post from you

PS. I made it up.

Hard to tell with North supporters, sounds exactly like something they would say

The gist of the Gys:

"the Dees got him for pick 11 courtesy of Brock to carlton. Great deal and now we got him for pick xx ...what a steal....once he fills out he'll match arm size with that of Daw...I can't wait...couple of pre-seasons is all it will take...grimaces as if he's putting in every time...like Judd-like and all that jazz...."

Arms the size of Daw's? Laughable

Grimacing because he's so unfit it's an effort for him to

Like this

Just 'Viney'??

Correct

Word is that the Eagles have offered his old man a recruiting job.

Jesse hasn't spoken to anyone else other than Melbourne though, and will let his management sort out a new contract at the end of season 2015.

He has gone over just for a look around though

It would be nice if there were photos of all our pick-ups on the Club website players list (also if the stats of other players were kept updated). I don't care if they are smiling or not but how hard is it to maintain a website?

Not all of them are back from end of season break yet, therefore they obviously haven't taken the new team photos

I think he'll stay...

In all honesty, does anyone else think he has that type of "smile" that tough bastards get when they know they are about to belt the crap out of you? He'd be swinging them and still have that smirk on his face. I like that he has that look.

I trust in Jesse

You're right though, with that "look" he has

Haha who are you then?

I'm good on here for about 15 minutes a day, BigFooty has far too much outside of Dees discussion.

Thought my username may have made it kinda obvious

Another Smile.....life long dee?

Its only half a smile.

We're in trouble........

He was just told he only had to stay 3 years

GONE

Why would he have put the photo up if he was so devastated?

Thought you'd gon' fishin

Oh FMD

We lost 1 player to an unprecedented deal and came out the other side as huge winners (on the surface)

Surely we don't need 3 years of people speculating Hogan will leave because he didn't smile

Christ.....

Well I knew Caro hated James Brayshaw, Sam Newman and the Fev... now we can add Melbourne to that list

She's always hate Melbourne, Schwab in particular

The mass exit continues. Green, Jurrah, Rivers, Molloney and now Morton

glad to see the list turnover but why didn't we go after Koby Stevens then? #caughtwithpantsdownagain

Don't see much value in chasing an inexperienced bloke with 11 games under his belt when we're struggling with a lack of experience

Can someone twitter that Mitch Clark has quit the MFC and joined the UFC? http://www.ufc.com/f...er/mitch-Clarke

Sure the surname has an 'e' in it, but the media won't pick up on that.

Most people are intent on spelling it with an E on the end anyway
